I Am A Canadian

[minnjim]

Not Really. But I read this on another forum just a bit ago and found it interesting.
And I thought you guys lived in nirvana!


I am a Canadian: The new version...


I AM CANADIAN
I am in the minority in Calgary ,
Vancouver , Toronto
and every casino in this country..


I was born in the forties, fifties or
sixties, yet I am somehow responsible for some First Nations people
being screwed out of their land in the 1700's!
I pay import tax on cars made in Ontario


I am allowed to skydive and smoke, but
not allowed to drive without a seat belt.


All the money I make until mid July must
go to paying taxes..


I live and work among people who believe
Americans are Ignorant....
These same people cannot name their own country's new territory.


Although I am sometimes forced to live
on hamburgers and don't have a pot to **** in,
I sleep well knowing that my taxes
helped purchase a nice six figure home in Vancouver for some unskilled
refugee.


Although they are unpatriotic and
constantly try to separate...
Quebec still provides most of my
nation's prime ministers.


95% of my nation's international
conflicts are over fish.


I'm supposed to call black people
African Canadians,
although I'm sure none of them have ever
been to Africa for that matter.
I am being told that paying a 200% tax
on alcohol is fair.


I am also being told that the same tax
on gasoline is also fair.


Even if I have no idea what happened to
that old rifle my
Grandfather gave me when I was 14, I
will be considered a criminal if I don't register it.


I am being told that spending $15
billion to promote the French language in the rest of Canada is fair
when the province of Quebec doesn't support or even recognize the
ENGLISH language.


I am being told that paying $1 million
for 3 Stripes ('The Voice of Fire' painting in Ottawa )
by the National Art Gallery was a good
purchase, even though 99% of this country didn't want it or will ever
see it.


When I look at my pension and realize
that I take home a third of what I actually make, I say
'Oh well, at least we have better health
care than the U.S.A..'


I must bail out big corporations who
drive their business into the ground and say,
'yeah that's ok.'
And When they move all their manufacturing
plants and jobs to a third world country and say,
'no problem.'


I must fork over my portion of the 11.5
million dollars to show the Queen of England and her family a good
time visiting in my country even though I can't afford to visit the
province next to me.




Canada is the highest taxed nation in
North America, the biggest Military buffer for the United States , and
the number one destination for fleeing terrorists.


The Lord's prayer is not allowed in our
schools anymore because of other religions who chose to move here.
I am an angry white person.

I am one ****ed off taxpayer, who is broke

I am Canadian !!!

That is a pretty offensive name to call anyone on this forum...even as a joke.

[ProfessorPibil]

I was referring to the author of the piece.

he wasn't calling anyone on the forum a name
it was directed at the author of the piece

and i don't think it was a joke

[TAPPY]

What part reminds you of Hitler ?

"I'm not racist, but...."

Angry White Male-itis isn't just for 'Mericuns anymore! Looks like those godless socialists north of the border are catching on.

[PlayaGroom]

That was quick!

Godwin's Law.

[ProfessorPibil]

I was going for a record.

[Rissask]

There are right wing rednecks everywhere, Jim....shocker, I know!



(Not that I totally disagree with all of that! Like the stupid gun registry....and the paying for the Royals. But I have some redneck in me....hey, I come by it honestly ).



I think I read this rant as a viral e-mail well over a decade ago, by the way....we are all pretty much over the painting now, that was 1989.


but it is a big silly POS -isn't it?

I'd stay out of Norway for a while.

Thanks for posting something that's finally applicable!

With the way some people talk about Native Canadians. They're probably more Red Neck then they'd admit.
